Default device width (or dimensions)


Recommended Posts

Hey @Conrad Preen!

Quick question...is there a way to set a default device width when creating new devices using the device builder tool? All my labels are formatted for 1.5" (which works great for our setup), but the program defaults to 1". it's a quick edit, but would be nice to have it pre-formatted straight away.

 

I recall this being an option in previous versions...but I fully understand the yin and yang of software development.

@livespace josha The software currently uses a default of 6 snap grid spaces as the standard width but this automatically expands if the socket names are too long. In earlier versions the width was controlled by a tool preferences and there was no auto-sizing. We will be re-instating the default minimum width together with auto-sizing.

 

Generally we try to keep the number of tweaks to a minimum because these can be really hard for new users to navigate.
